You know how that story goes.We don’t like being told how things are going to be. We bet you don’t either. Here, doing things our way is our way. Like still building trucks one at a time. Or when they tell us we can’t build a completely custom truck, we set out to prove them wrong.

Sure, we know this means a Star isn’t for everyone. We’re okay with that. Because we build our trucks for those individuals who expect something better than average. Who look at their truck as an investment, rather than an expense.

So if you’re someone who thinks that there are more important reasons to buy a truck than quality and value, well, you might as well not bother turning the page.

Nope. There isn’t anyone else out there who brings you the level of handcrafted factory customization you find with Western Star. Because we build them one at a time, our attention to detail gives you a truck that’s an incredible value. Long-lasting, quiet, reliable, durable. It’s made to keep on delivering well after the others have been put to pasture.

Our process also lets us work with you to create the truck solution you need. Sure, there are over 3,600 options, but we don’t believe little things like it’s never been done before should get in the way of getting what you want. That’s the difference with owning Western Star.

CLEAN BACK OF CAB.You won’t find poorly placed stacks or brackets that have been located, it seems, just to be in the way. Our flexible exhaust options and clean cab design mean builders have an easier time adding the body you want, saving as much as a foot of chassis length and a whole lot more in build time.

WIRING MADE EASY.Western Star trucks are constructed with easily accessible, point-to-point wiring, and supported by a full body-builder book. Additionally, all wires are laser etched and color coded. This not only makes the connections more dependable, it makes them easier to trace if a repair is ever needed.

CUSTOM. RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY.We might have mentioned Western Star will work to get you what you need. And you’ll find plenty of factory-installed options like twin steer chassis, lift axles and all-wheel drive. These OEM options are specifically designed for our trucks, so they not only save you time and money, they’re fully covered by your factory warranty.

No unusual angles. No unnecessary brackets. No hidden wiring. There’s a reason we design Western Star® trucks the way we do – to save you upfit time and, more importantly, money. The beauty is when you’re finished, you get a stronger truck that’s going to last you longer. So you’re really money ahead in the long run.

There’s a big difference between functional and brutal. Sure, it’s a work truck. But that doesn’t mean it should be punishing. We treat it as your office because it is your office – just with a few hundred horsepower.

That’s why you’ll find an updated, upgraded and even better interior. One that’s spacious and very flexible – with plenty of storage, comfortable seats and increased quiet. In other words, all the features that make your job a little bit easier and a lot more relaxing. Try one on for size and see how it fits.

A truck is a big investment. That’s why we think you should expect more support from your manufacturer and dealer than a payment book and a holiday card. We make sure you have what you need, from dedicated service to dependable parts availability and affordable financing. Oh, and we bet you’ll get that holiday card, too.

You don’t have time to wait for parts. So we don’t make you.Seems simple enough. That’s why our goal is unmatched parts availability. Your dealer carries a wide selection of parts, and has access to an even greater variety through our expanding network of parts distribution centers. You get the support you need to keep working – no matter where you do business.

It’s a big world out there.So we have a big network. Sure, you’ll work mostly with your local dealer. But if for any reason a job takes you away from your home base, there will be a Star dealer ready to help.

The kind of financing you want.Being part of the Daimler family means we can get you into the right truck at the right price with rates that are competitive with anyone, including banks. Plus, because we know the transportation and vocational business, it’s simple to get the financing you need – and into the Western Star® you want.
